FRENCH PAPERS. ( From the Pitote of Friday.) MADRID, MARCH 6.—(Private Correspond ence.)—Letters from Orihuna say, that Don Juan Fernandez Baziel (brother of Don Anthony), Don Jose Pardo Figuerre, and seven 'other con stitutionals, had just been shot there. Colonel I)on .Anthony Fernandez had not yet been exe 7cuted, being at the poitit of death; 'in conse quence of four serious wounds which he had received in the combat. Great changes are spoken of in the highest offices ; some persons affirm, that the two Infants have suggested to their august brother, to dismiss the whole Mi nistry, and to replace it by persons chosen from the Council of the State ; but that his Majesty has paid no attention to these suggestions, being . convinced that all the changes hitherto made had not produced any great advantage. The Council of State lately proposed to the King to expel from Al adlid all suspicious per sons, such as the ci-levant officers of the National Militia, those of the sacred Battalion, those who are declared unpurified ; in short, all those who . do not deserve the confidence of the ruling party. M. Recacho has hindered this measure from being carried into execution. ' (From Ihe Courier Francais.) PARIS; MARCH 1t3.--The Eloge mentions, as a report that has been in circulation for some Clays, that a Treaty of Commerce has been con cluded between France and Brazil, on terms most advantageous to our country. If we are well in formed, this treaty is modelled upon that con cluded with England by Sir Charles Stuart; and ;which has not been ratified by England. There is reason to believe that the treaty of - hick the Doile speaks, will not receive,at least Jmniediately, the sanction of the French Govern .ment ; and that it will' not be published till after .England shall have obtained the modifications which it desires in the treaty, which it has re 'fused to accept. _ . (Front the Monitcur of Friday) PARIS, ARCH 16.—Yesterday evening, the Xing received his Excellency the Chancellor and 'the Secretaries of the Council of Paris, who had the honour to present to his Majesty the Project of Law on Crimes and Misdemeanors committed by Frenchmen in the ports (Echelles) of the Lavatit, adopted by the Chamber, in its sitting of the 14th of this month. To-dav, the King received in a private audi ence his Serene Highness the Duke of Bruas. wick. DEPARTMENT OP THE INTERIOR. From the LONDON GAZETTE of March 18. Mardi 1, 1826.

We have already mentioned the arrival of the BLosne frigate, Captain Lord liYitom, at Ports mouth. It was this ship which conveyed to the Sandwich Islands the bodies of the 'late KING and QUEEN of these islands. The Br.orintz: left England in the autumn of 102.1: on her arrival at Valparaiso, Mr. Charlton, Consul-General of the Islands ,in' the Pacific, was sent forward to Woahoo to an nounce tt►e death of the King and Queen, and the expected arrival of the Blonde with the bodiei. It was regardekas a remarkable circumstance by the natives, that just previous to the period of Mr. Charlton's arrival at Woahoo, certain natu ral phenometia;--such as the extraordinary overflowing and recession *of the tide, an eclipse of the moon, &c. had taken place, which impressed them with a belief that some fatality bad happened to the King or,Qtteen ; similar occurrences being observed when Tamahama the First died—the first sovereign who conquered all the seven islands, brought them under one Government, and afterwards ceded them to Van couver, in 1794. This omen, or presentiment, was con firmed by Mr. Charlton's arrival. When the Blonde arrived at ,-Honoruru, (the anchorage of Woahoo), in May last, she was, however, immediately saluted by nine teen guns from the fort. The day afterward, Lord Byron' and all his Officers, had an audience of the Regent (Karimoku, the brother of Bold, the Governor, who came to England), at his house, at which were delivered, in the presence of all the heads of the nation, the presents sent out in the Blonde by our King. The present King of the Islands is Kaukiauli, a lad about eleven years of age, brother of Rio Rio, who (lied in England. On the 23d of May (four days after the arrival of the Blonde), at eleven a. tu. the bodies of the King and Queen were landed, attended by Lord Byron and all the Officers of the Blonde, dressed in their full uniforms. On the arrival of the boats at the landing point, they were placed on two funeral cars, and drawn by native Chiefs (about forty to each car) to the late room of audience belonging to the Prince Regent, the tomb-houie not being finished. Kau kiauli (brother of the late King), and the Princess Nahienaena, were the chief mourners, supported by Lord Byron and the British Consul—the numerous Chiefs of the Island, and the Officers of the Blonde, formed an extensive funeral cavalcade. The.Blonde continued at the Island about six weeks, during which Lord Byron attended the meetings of the Chiefs, who gravely deliberated respecting the succession of the young King and Princess to the throne : as heretofore, might had constituted right. This important matter was, however, very amicably arranged—the heads of the nation, and all the Chiefs, expressing their earnest desire to conform themselves strictly to the laws of legitimacy and of consanguinity. This island is described as the most fertile of all the Sandwich Islands. The inhabitants, by a late census, amounted to 40,001►. The Blonde proceeded from Woahoo to visit the isle of Owy hee (about three days' run), and refit there. She anchored In one of the finest bays in the world (now called Byron Bay), which Vancouver was deterred from entering by a coral rdak appearing to impede the entrance, but which actually forms its principal security. It is a most safe position ; and its rich and beautifully varied scenery has obtained for it the appellation of The Eden of the Sandwich Islands.' In the neighbourhood of this Bay the Island b, in the highest state of fertility; hut the natives are in nearly the same state ns they were when Captain Cook discovered them in 1779. An American Missionary had arrived there about six months since, whose instructions would, no doubt, advance them in civilization, as those of his brethren had the natives at Woahoo. The Blonde then returned from Byron Bay to NVoahoo, and Lord Byron took leave of the King, Regent, and CAA, and fulfilled the purpose of his visit to the Islands, in the highest degree satisfactory to them, and beneficial to the country. The kindness, grace, and attentions of his Lordship to the natives, we are assured, have made the most favourable impression on them of the English character. The Blonde was literally laden with stock and provisions every de. scription, by the natives, who refused payment for any thing they could supply the ship. The Blonde left Woahoo for Kara kokooa Bay, where Captain Cook was unfortunately killed.— Here Lord Byron erected a humble, simple monument to the memory of the great circumnavigator—noton the spot where he was killed, as that was found impracticable, it being underwater; but where his body was cut up, on the top of a hill, about a mile 'from the shore. The natives of the Islands having embraced Christianity, the Regent gave permission to Lord Byron to visit the sacred sepulchre, and take therefrom whatever relics of their former religion he wished to possess. The sanctuary was filled with their various Hods_ % the work of men's hands'.._some manufactured of wicker-work and feathers, others carved out o f wood, with numerous articles whi c h had been made sacred, by being offered to them, in acts of gratitude, for success in fishing, hunting, and the other occupations of their simple life. But the article that most struck the visitors, as remarkable, was English consecrated drum. The temple w as despoiled of most of its former sacred treasures, which are brought to Engl an d i n the Blonde. The Blonde left the Sandwich Islands to pro. ceed to Otaheite, but, in consequence of the trade winds, sir could not fetch it by 500 miles, and therefore made a direct course for the coast of Chili, during which she fell in with dial. den's, Husbrack's, and Parry Islands, the two former unin habited, the latter only known to the inhabitants of Otaheite, and made a wonderful run of 4,500 miles in three weeks, and 7693 miles in 49 days. The King of the Sandwich Islands, Tamanma the First, who died in 11119, bad made must considerable advances towards civilization; he had directed for the defence of his island three forts, one of which mounts forty-two pieces of ordnance ; he possessed abut. a considerable fleet, with which he had sub. clued the whole group of islands, and at the time of his death ' was arranging an expedition for the conquest of Otaheite and the other Society Islands, situated at least it thousand miles from him. The simplebabits and easy modes of living of the . natives do not prompt to much personal exertion ; they re quire no clothing, and their fish, which is abundant, with tire terra root, which grows spontaneusly, afford them a gratuitous, constant, and a plentiful subsistence. It has never, until now, been ascertained with certainty, how they dis posed of their dead. It appears that this duty of conceal ment devolves upon the next of kin, who buries the body in the middle of the night following their death, and when the flesh has been consumed they gather up the bones, which one of them removed they convey into the interior and lodged in a cavity or clift of erection of four poles, to go within whic in h itshedsant m'arlhlneerOnarlye t i l i i i e on ro d c e lt es s i ; )e t o l p te l s e e , spots are then tabooed or held sacred by the it y.

The dagger with which Captain Cook was killed, is in the possession of a literary gentleman of the Blonde, who has col lected many new i nteresting, and cur i ous particulars relative to his death, and of the past history of these interesting islanders (Hampshire Telegraph.)

W e have great pleasure in communicating the _Repoli of Ili s M A - following very. satisfactory J ES T Y 'S lienith " King's Lodge, Windsor Park, March 20. " The limo has'had a very good night. His MAJESTY is convalescent. (Signed) " HENRY HALFURD." The Etoile of yesterday announces the arrival of a Telegraphic Dispatch at Paris on Friday evening, communicating the death of the King of PORTUGAL, which happened on the 10th inst. Princess ISABELLA MARIA, eldest Sister of the KING, had assumed the Regency. The establishment of a Regency in Lisbon h known to have been in contemplation for nearly six months, under the joint auspices of the Cabinets of France and Great Britain. This is understood to have been the cause of so strong a naval force having been kept up in the Mediterranean. (From the Etoile of yesterday, lfith Mardi.) A Telegraphic Dispatch received yesterday evening an• nounces the death of the King of Portugal. On the 4th inst. his Majesty was attacked by apoplexy mixed with symptoms of epilepsy. On the oth and 6th his illness in creased so much as to excite serious apprehensions for his life. From the crisis of the 6th until the 9th, there was material alteration, but on that day the attacks became more violent, and the Bing expired on the 10th at six in the evening. At the departure of the courier the Princess Isabella Maria, eldest sister of the King, exercised the Regency. Lisbon was per !ectly tranquil. We s pan assure our readtlikat the logation of fugal at Paris has not diTatched any co to thaiAnfant Do iguel , who Intl e siclirsyt . : NI f as has ltrirrig v erTed by a Jou nal f this day. It was not by the Telegraph, but by a Courier, that the Pot tuguese Ambassador received the intelligence of the King's illness. One of the Journals of this capital pretends that by the Treaty of Commerce between France and Portugal, the duties on French goods are reduced to 15 per cent. %re be lieve this inforMation to be incorrect, and that the cownierce of France will be put on the same footing with that of the roost favoured powers.

The Hamburgh Correspondent of Wednesday, received this day, has letters from St. Peters burgh, announcing the arrival of the Duke Of WELLINGTON in that city. immediately after his arrival he had a private audience of the Este u o . The body of the late Esmnon leas reached the Russian capital, and preparations are now mukluk for the splendid funeral which is shortly to follow. No further intelligence is contained in these Papers relative to the late conspiracy,or to the po licy the Russian Cabinet will follow in reference to the Greek cause. We have always felt, however, that wisdom dictated a peaceable course, and might be said almost to compel the Emperor of , lt.o MA steadily and positively to reject any inter ference with the Porte, in a question which inti mately concerns the chief and most powerful Governments of Europe. independently of these considerations, there are others aris ing out of the situation and feeling of the Russian Army, which it seems, by letters re ceived yesterday, is not quite so well affeCted to the present Estemton, as to shut out all Ps' picion of its loyalty and devotedness to Wm' The Senate had given it as their opinion that it would be necessary to remodel the whole military establishment, an opinion in whic4 the EMPEROR is said to have acquiesced. Thus circumstanced the psi * of Europe s eem' for the present guaranteed ; for there appm'!" nothing in other quarters at all likely to disturb it, even should a disposition to go to war OM' We subjoin a few extracts : ST.

His Highness the Archduke Ferdinand of Este left this city yesterday. Count Lebezeltern, the Austrian Ambassador a t our Court, will, as we hear, leave us in the spring, and be employed else ! where. Count Bombelles, the first Secretary of Legation, will act for a time as Charge d'Affaires, and Prince Schwartzen burg, who is attached to the Legation, will be removed to the Austrian Legation in Lon4it. His Majesty has appointed the Grand Duke Constantine Colonel of the Grodno Hussar Regiment of the Guards. The Journal (le St. Peter:burgh has an article on the &par.. ture of the Archduke Ferdinand of Este, of whom it soaks in very high terms of commendation. aftIVAI The mortal remains of the late Emperor, after th e.. at Zarskojeselo, will lie in state for several days in the Tic " ornamented church of the palace. The reception will be eery brilliant. Prince Alexis Kurakin, President of the ing Committee, will receive the funeral procession at the frontiers of the boundary of the City, where he will lil 3ce. the Crown upon the coffin. A very numerous Pr °ces &ion of civil and military officers, and persons belonging to the Court, followed the funeral through the town of Zarskojeselo, to the church. When it arrives there, the Aid. de-Camp of the late Emperor will carry the coffin into tic church, and place it on the raised stage or calafalque. Then the funeral service begins with salutes of artillery and tolling o f bells. Every body except the clergy, will then leave the c hurcP* and the Emperor and Empress, and all the Members of the / _ (11- penal Family will enter and a tt e nd a second funeral s ues : so long as the body remains at Z a rskojesclo.
